Lot 17 Peter Curling

Peter Curling b.1955 HELL FOR LEATHER Oil on canvas, 24'' x 60'' (61 x 152.5cm), signed Peter Curling has long been regarded as Ireland's finest equine painter. Having such a close involvement with horses and their training has given his work an authenticity which shines through and reflects in the appeal his work has to both the horse expert as well as the art lover. It is these paintings of the horse which are probably Peter's most popular pieces and the atmosphere and subtle colour of horses in the soft Irish landscape are a constant source of inspiration
